Freedom does not mean free. The saying has been established in the past, present, and the future which happens to be the setting of where Brave New World by Aldoux Huxley takes place. In futuristic London, though people living there come off as happy with all their wants satisfied and fulfilled, by looking closer into what seems to be a perfectly utopian society, a dystopian society strongly seems visible due to total authority and corrupt government control as further developed by perspective. Huxley's choice of point of view as the rhetorical device contributes to the dystopian purpose for the novel.

Freedom is having the power to act, speak or think without restraint or limitations. To have free will and do as you please is very important in life. In Brave New World each caste is restricted to what the government wishes them to think or do. They have no freedom to choose what job to do, which class they belong to or what thoughts are in their brains. It is very hard to have freedom in this Brave New World when the citizens are subjected to rigorous operant conditioning, brainwashed by hypnopaedia from the moment of birth and imprisoned by a hallucinogen. These are "major instruments of social stability"(Huxley 5). The World State uses conditioning as a way to influence children to perform a certain way and like certain things. Conditioning is used in Brave New World to produce a society that is stable and where every citizen is content. The protagonist Bernard Marx longs for freedom and individuality. He ponders what it would be like "if [he] were free -- not enslaved by [his] conditioning" (78) showing his desire to be "free to be happy in some other way ... in [his] own way,

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World is a fascinating and analytical work of fiction warning society of the possibility of a future world state eerily similar to the modern world. It could be argued by the fictional citizens and many others that the World State is in fact utopian. Constant happiness, fulfillment, and instant gratification. However, Brave New World clearly depicts a deteriorating dystopian society. Although by the World State’s citizens it is seen as an impeccable, expedient utopian society, the world Aldous Huxley illustrates in Brave New World is without a doubt dystopian. The dismal nature of the brave new world is ultimately proved by overpowering control, a lack of individuality, and overall dissatisfaction throughout society.

Aldous Huxley is best known for his novel Brave New World, which depicts a post-industrial revolution utopia. Huxley greatly feared the ramifications to an industrialized world run by consumer capitalism, which is displayed in Brave New World. The government within the novel focuses solely on the bettering of technology and not scientific exploration and experimentation. The society’s values lie in instant gratification and constant happiness. The utopia is maintained through the means of drugs, conditioning, and deindividuation – which Huxley argues is the key to any successful utopia.

Brave New World is a horrifying book to read. Not because it’s gruesome or gross, but because of the eye-opening truth intertwined with the plot. The author, Aldous Huxley, perfectly portrays a ‘utopian’ society hundreds of years in the future. In this society, Henry Ford is worshiped like a God, sex is encouraged freely as a recreational activity, everyone takes ‘soma’, which is a drug like cocaine, but without the consequences, there are no parents because every child is grown in a facility and raised with all the other children, there is no marriage or romantic relationships, and time alone is considered odd and unneeded.

What's life if there is no freedom? This is the question that arose while reading the Brave New World by Aldous Huxley published in 1932. The novel takes place after Henry Ford based on his believes of mass production and consumerism. This synthetic world, also known as the World States is advanced in science and technology. It is used in every aspect of their lives especially in the mass production of humans to bring stability to society. Unlike the World State, United states is less advanced in terms of science and technology. The citizens are less dependent on science and technology then the World State. The world state is much more supported by the science and technology. Their personal freedom is questionable with these advances. In the

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World explores numerous issues stemming from the ones thriving in his world to discourage readers from mirroring aspects of a dystopian society similar to the one presented in the novel. Despite Huxley’s cautions based on his accurate predictions of the future, key issues from the past still reside today. Since the early twentieth century, social and economic classes have impacted the lives of virtually everyone, women have taken immense strides towards equality, and the acceptance of individuality has

Due to the Enlightenment belief and understanding through science and the scientific innovations of the Industrial Revolution, society could be vastly improved through scientific progress in western culture. These advances were expected to take place in the 20th century. However, the brutality and scale of World War I and the world economic crisis in the 1930’s destroyed prior expectations and political powers emerged, such as Marxism, Fascism, Nazism,and Fordism, which encompasses mass-production. Because western culture holds a high value in human relations, emotions, and religions, “A brave new world” accommodates to these notions.Various aspects of these movements exhibit and expound on the power and limitations of technology in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. It shows what happens in a civilization without vital social values such as human relations, emotions, and religion. The novel emphasizes how this civilization, or World State, has fixed all present day problems making it a “brave new world.” But a civilization lacking pain and suffering, lacks current day happiness and traditional social values. A world where psychological mottoes, technology, and a rigid class system has replaced traditional societal values such as Huxley promotes, is one where human relations and religion fits societal needs, expectations and the need to control emotions.

We believe the choices we make can be made randomly if we so choose. People who believe in free will don’t understand which of our actions are free and which actions are simply illusions. This gap in our perception, of what is free and what is just an illusion, is free will.

Free will means that humans are self determined, and not subject to forces outside of their control. What free will tries to account for is that people are in control of many of their choices, thus they are in control of their own destiny. Some

Have you ever thought about how it might feel to have your life controlled by the government? Aldous Huxley’s 1932 novel, Brave New World explores this very topic. An allegory of an industrialized society, Brave New World describes a kind of society that formerly gets inherited with specific traits in order to complete profounding tasks. The purpose of doing so is to keep the society running smoothly. Totalitarianism is subjected upon people from the day of their birth with the usage of much science and technology. There is much lack of individuality as every person is put in a specific caste which really determines who they are. Each and every individual is brainwashed by the government. The World State’s goal is nothing but perfection. However, none of it is for the benefit of the people as they have no freedom and face strong measures of inequality. In sum, in Aldous Huxley 's Brave New World, the World State clearly portrays a dystopian society.

Dystopian societies have been part of literature for as far as readers can remember. As advancement in technology continues, the fear of it taking over everyday life has gone from a distant absurd idea in novels to a present reality. Current technology can be applied in almost everything from medical devices to kitchen appliances. For example, the refrigerators that can send out text messages when one is low on milk or any other grocery. In Aldous Huxley’s novel, Brave New World, it closely depicts the influence technology plays on a human's role in society. In the novel, Huxley vividly depicts a dystopian society where humans are categorized into different caste systems, created by a cloning process, born from a bottle, and have no free will to think or act by themselves. Huxley’s vivid depiction of this society correlates with the idea that technology strip humans from what makes them human.

There is many types of freedoms in world literature starting with good freedom. Good freedom is something he or she would like to do and do it whenever he or she want but good freedom can also be having hope that something good will happen or that he or she can finally do something or a whole community can not do some day. Evidence of good freedom on the book Night “At six o’clock that night, American tanks are at the door or Buchenwald”(Wiesel 115). “OUR FIRST ACT AS FREE MEN was to throw ourselves onto the provisions. That is all we thought about. No thought of revenge,or parents. Only of bread”(Wiesel 115). This evidence is an example of good freedom because the American army finally came to help them and now the people are freemen,free women,free children and now they are full of happiness that it is finally over and that they can do what they want and finally eat and drink when they want and get their life back together. They did not want revenge because they are free now from
